How do you unplug?

Since a film we’re working on explores what it means to be “connected” in the 21st Century, we made “Yelp,” to suggest how disconnecting can be just as much fun as connecting. We’re ready to power down with y’all Friday night. - Tiffany Shlain (Filmmaker & Founder of The Webby Awards), Ken Goldberg (Professor & Director of the Berkeley Center for New Media), www.connectedthefilm.com
